WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy!
When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship.
There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.

Trump: “Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, & thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to ‘drop him like a dog’ when things got too HOT … Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas!”

So we steal Greenland as protection against Russia but we kiss off the Ukraine-Russia war because it is not in our backyard. Stop them there and maybe they won’t attack over the Arctic.

I know I'm not the first to point this out, but Trump's judicial nominees this year have CONSISTENTLY said Biden was "certified" the winner of the 2020 election when asked who won the 2020 election/if Biden won the election

Nevermind weighing the needs and interests of your constituents, just do as you’re told!
Trump threatens to withhold his endorsement from any Republican who doesn’t support his $9.4 billion rescission package. It’s headed for the Senate floor next week and needs a simple majority.
